Stereo Embers The Podcast 0380: Abby Hamilton

Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"Good Thing" Her new album might be called The #1 Zookeeper (Of The San Diego Zoo) but Abby Hamilton does not hail from San Diego. The singer/songwriter was born and raised a little over two thousand miles away in Wilmore, Kentucky. Hamilton's family was a musical one--so much so, in fact, that she has aunts who sang in a Southern Gospel group called The Hamilton Family. But lineage aside, what Abby started to realize when she was in college is that artists like Bruce Springsteen, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt and Jason Isbell have been having musical conversations with each other through their art and she wanted in on that dialogue of collective consciousness. Well, she's in. Her album is a startling and thoughtful blend of rootsy swagger, blissful Americana and lyrical smarts. It's one of the most riveting and fully-formed debuts in recent memory. www.abbyhamiltonmusic.com (http://www.abbyhamiltonmusic.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: [e-mail]
